A Trade Future Worth Reimagining

The global economy is at a tipping point. Trade systems are under pressure—from inequality, climate disruption, and fractured alliances. But trade can do more than recover. It can evolve.

The Festival of Inclusive Trade 2025 is not just a virtual event. It’s a call to action. Across two weeks of high-level dialogues, cultural expression, and global collaboration, we’ll interrogate what it means to build a trade system rooted in inclusion, trust, and equity.
